Hi Guys
After visiting your stand you stand at the Cilcain show & having not done anything serious underground for some time now apart from a walk around Rhosydd with my son I'd like to join one of your trips.
I can SRT but not done any in ages, have own kit but bca expired :blush: Been with AN since 2007 :woohoo:
Already done Hendre several times including the wormhole but if the other trip is open I'd be interested as long as it's not chest deep water as this weeks AN trip is :blink:
Let me know
Cheers
...Andy
Andy ... I have messaged you on Facebook :)

very roughly edited video from last night. Predominantly a test of the new camera underground.

Interesting .... The camera seems to channel the light into a round mass, although I assume your lamp was centrally focused.

That is down to the camera having a wide field of view and the lamp a narrow beam (on spot) when the lamp is in flood mode you dont get that effect
What camera is it Ant? Footage looks clear enough. I'd avoid headcam footage if poss as it's always too jumpy. Chest mounted tends to be more stable than on the head.

Its a Sjcam sj4000. I agree about chest mount being more stable. But you do loose out on the framing accuracy. All about comprimises really
